## Resource

Taylor Swift moved to trademark her voice and image as AI threats grow. That's not vanity — it's the opening shot of the identity-as-IP era. The legal framework for being a person is about to get expensive. Three new industries are forming: biometric IP filing, deepfake takedown services, 'verified human' subscriptions. Combined market in 5 years: $50B+. The catch — it's all built for people who can already afford lawyers. Everyone else is training data. Timestamps: 0:00 Taylor Swift trademarks voice + image (Gerben IP) 0:15 MiniDoge — first volley in identity-as-IP, every face a registered asset 0:35 Nyx — your face is code that compiles into anyone 1:00 HH — "Taylor lawyers up. The rest of you are training data." 1:15 MiniDoge — identity insurance market, $50B+ in 5 years 1:40 Saarvis — Taylor can defend herself.
